This is FIFA we are taking about here so common sense does no apply. They live in a seperate universe to the rest of us so will have absolutely no idea what impact a potential £200k penalty could have on our future prospects. They've probably delayed the hearing because they have bribes to collect from Russia and Qatar.

It isn't FIFA that have put it off it is CAS, they are independent of FIFA.

What is most annoying is treating us in such an arrogant manner. They should explain WHY they have decided to put it back. The hearing has finished over three months ago, when they give their judgement.

This would be a total travesty if any sort of fine would be imposed yet alone the one initially sanctioned. Look back to when Andy Webster left Hearts, not exactly the same but another player who moved over the border.

What a joke this is!! This is dragging on longer than the NOTW Hacking trial!!?
As said above, it should have never even got to this point.
Just another example of the people who are running the game we all love, Having no clue what so ever!!
CTID!

No-one who has left a comment appears to know the reason(s) for the delay.

The CAS are not under any obligation to explain the reasons for the delay in their role as arbitrators.

Why should they be seen as arrogant? They are simply undertaking due process and are undertaking an independent review of the case.

The football club is not a special case.

So many legal eagles!

So enlighten us then Mr Clayton?? Why do they set dates for this to be resolved and then delay it time after time?
If the "due Process" they are undrtaking is a long technical process, why not just give themselves enough time to do it in the 1st place, instead of setting a date, then delaying it!!? It does'nt make them look good, hence the disgruntled back lash from us, THE FANS.

"So enlighten us then Mr Clayton?? Why do they set dates for this to be resolved and then delay it time after time?"

If you knew that yourself then you would not be asking me.

My guess is that they have adjourned in order to look at any legal precedents and/or case law. Emphasis on the word 'guess'. As stated, no one making a comment (me included) knows. That is my point.

Also, it is of no consequence whether the CAS look good, bad or indifferent. They are not answerable to us.

Are they putting the decision back in the hope that sooner or later Stewart will actually score a goal somewhere and then Falkirk can claim he is actually a professional striker without being laughed at?

Just one more goal could double his value.
